Just trust me on this one. That is, unless you want your domain name to be offline for a day and a half, too…

That’s my boy!
I’m going hoarse today because he keeps asking me, “wine more time!” He wants me to “sing the letters.”
Now he’s over there with his letters from the refrigerator and he amazes me so much. He’s able to identify many of them after very few times of us going over them. He keeps picking one up, taking it to Steve, and saying, “look, it’s a V,” or “look, it’s H.” He even told Steve that Z was for Zebra then ran to find his toy zebra in his room. I don’t even remember telling him that Z was for Zebra! Steve can even tell him tell him, “go get me an E,” and he does.
He can identify his numbers, too, up to 10, except for the single 0 I think. He gets confused between 0 and O and just tells me what color they are instead.
I mean, maybe he’s completely normal and all kids do this at his age, but I’m so proud - his memory just amazes me!
So according to treehelp.com, redbud trees are supposed to bloom in the early spring. The photos that I took of my neighbor’s redbud flowers/trees were taken in April of this year.
So, what’s up with this then?
Yes, folks, there you have it. We have what is apparently a redbud tree in our rosebush box that has bloomed in this beautiful September. This reminds me of last October, when I had some lilacs bloom!

I’m really not surprised. Not one bit. But here’s another website that’s publishing our information without permission.
This time they claim to be a wiki and that they are gathering information about other websites. On the page aboutus.org/spoken-for.org, I found the first part of my about page was ripped off and I was listed as having lived in the US and they listed an email address for me as well as links to Alexa about my website and sites they considered to be related (75% were not related whatsoever including a blog I recognize but don’t visit but is marked by Alexa as being related to me).
Now, as disturbing as that all was, there are even more disturbing “wiki website” pages. I looked up some on friends. One friend has their whole address and phone number listed… along with a Google map to their house. That is disturbing. They even grabbed the image of a friend’s website header and put it on his page.

I have looked high and low for that song (and by “high and low” I mean on my program where I buy my MP3’s - yes, buy) and I cannot seem to find it anywhere!
Anyway, Saturday was… a mess.
I was supposed to have a fair. You know, it was one of those things where I got up at 5.15am and showered and dressed then dragged everyone else out of bed (took me a half an hour to get Steve up, reminiscent of only Sunday mornings; how it is that he can get up every day at that time or earlier for work relatively without problems then sleep for 12 hours and not be able to get up on a Sunday morning at 9 or 9.30 is beyond me) and loaded up the Jeep and trailer with candles and the tent and tables and shelving and other various supplies, piled everyone in, left, stopped at a gas station for much needed ice and wake-me-ups (aka Mountain Dew), drove an hour, and then…
…Got rained out.

Okay, so I have, at this time, no better way to describe these people.
This morning, the first thing I saw in my email box was a trackback to my most recent entry (which, btw, I was on the way to make private). Visiting this site, I was presented with my whole entry, complete with every little word I wrote, every page I linked to. Looking at the bottom of the page for a comment form or contact information, I found one, but also found links to other entries of mine. It lists 440 total. They ripped off my whole site!
And not only this, but they plaster the website with Google ads. (Oh, trust me, as soon as I finish this post, I’m contacting Google. They also have a Gmail login box from their main page.)

Okay, I don’t know what to do.
The very beginning of ths month, a candle order came through for seven candles. Four of my best-internet-selling scent. I had to ship this in two boxes: the four in one priority box, and then the remaining three in a flat-rate priority. The first went out September 5th and the second went out on the 6th. Right away, I lost money on this deal because I had neglected to fix my shipping methods when I upgraded my shopping cart. So I was paid only $9 for shipping and it cost me $12.60 on the first box and $8.10 on the second.
Because of a recent shipment to Bes, where one candle broke (someone HAD to have hit it with something or dropped the box, you can see the point of impact *), I got insurance on the first box, that’s $1.35 of the $12.60 where contents are insured at $28 (4 x $7). I failed to insure the second box.
